Stop Text box from rembering previous values

[SuperSly]

How do I Stop Text boxes from rembering previous values that have been entered into the textbox from previous data entry into the web page? Also If I do disable this will it cause me any problems when updating back to the database and as such is better to leave on ?

On the textfield which you do not want to automatically save values set the enableviewstate property to false.

Cheers I've tried this but it hasn't made any difference. Everytime I go to add a new value to a text box, the textbox drops down a number of values that have been entered in previously. What am I doing wrong ? I very confused.

Can someone explain Enableviewstate to me. I read loads of articles but I still haven't got a clue.

1) If change the control property to enableViewstate = false , should this clear the list of previous items from text box ? (but it's not just working on my version ?)

2) Am I write in saying if I then try to update the database from this control the update won't work ?

Thanks for listening.
